I felt like I could relate to almost every word of this!

In fact, bizarrely, I wrote some random lyrics down last week (to maybe one day be turned into a song) which touch on more than half of what you wrote!

Dear Byron,

wow! I didn't realise you were musical. I would love to hear it.

Did you know Steve was recording an album when he died? The songs are beautiful. Well at least to me.

Much Love

PS. commented and emailed you last week after your comment. Just wanted to check you saw/recieved them. ;-)

Hi,

Well, I’ve played guitar on and off since I was about 10 but only started learning to sing and play about 6 years ago - I don’t sing particularly well but I enjoy it!

Only written one song before and working on another but sometimes write random lyrics down if something comes to me - trying to use that as a bit of a release - definitely find singing about things that are meaningful to me helps with that.

Happy to share - I do put some stuff on Instagram. I’ll let you know when I’ve recorded a version I’m happy with! (Might be a while though!)

I think I might’ve seen in one of your e-mails that he was recording an album - I didn’t know he was musical. Would really like to hear his stuff if possible / you don’t mind?

I did get your messages, thank you. I’m gona scream at my e-Mail!! - it has a habit of losing my messages when I send them - don’t save anywhere, just disappear - and I sent a really long reply!! I’ll reply again (and save a copy before I send it, just in case!)

Oh no! That's annoying! I had to change my email account a couple of years ago because of a similar issue. switched to protonmail which is encrypted and more secure too.

I'll look out for it.

It's never about the outcome or how well we do things but how it makes us feel while we are doing it. ;o)

I find music a great way of releasing and feeling emotions. And I love to sing although I tend to keep it to my home or when I'm in the car. My morning ritual is to sing in the shower though. Sets me up for th day.

I will see if I can find a way of sharing Steve's songs with you.

Karen xx
